The brochures are piling up in travel agents while newspapers and magazines bulge with advice about where to go. But the traditional packaged holiday, a British innovation that provided many t

13、imid natives with their first experience of warm sand, is not what it was. Indeed, the industry is anxiously awaiting a High Court ruling to find out exactly what it now is. Two things have changed the way Britons research and book their holidays: low-cost airlines and the Internet. Instead of buyin

14、g a ready-made package consisting of a flight, hotel, car hire and assorted entertainment from a tour operators brochure, it is now easy to put together a trip using an online travel agent like Expedia or Travelocity, which last July bought Lastminute. com for 577 million ($1 billion), or from the p

15、roliferating websites of airlines, hotels and car-rental firms. This has led some to sound the death knell for high-street travel agents and tour operators. There have been upheavals and closures, but the traditional firms are starting to fight back, in part by moving more of their business online.

16、First Choice Holidays, for instance, saw its pre-tax profit rise by 16% to 114 million ($195 million) in the year to the end of October. Although the overall number of holidays booked has fallen, the company is concentrating on more valuable long-haul and adventure trips. First Choice now sells more

17、 than half its trips directly, either via the Internet, over the telephone or from its own travel shops. It wants that to reach 75% within a few years. Other tour operators are showing similar hustle. MyTravel managed to cut its loss by almost half in 2005. Thomas Cook and Thomson Holidays, now both

18、 German owned, are also bullish about the coming holiday season. Highstreet travel agents are having a tougher time, though, not least because many leading tour operations have cut the commissions they pay. Some high-street travel agents are also learning to live with the Internet, helping people bo

19、ok complicated trips that they have researched online, providing advice and tacking on other services. This is seen as a growth area. But if an agent puts together separate flights and hotel accommodation, is that a package, too? The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) says it is and the agent should hol

20、d an Air Travel Organisers Licence, which provides financial guarantees to repatriate people and provide refunds. The scheme dates from the early 1970s, when some large British travel firms went bust, stranding customers on the Costas. Although such failures are less common these days, the CAA had t

21、o help out some 30,000 people last year. The Association of British Travel Agents went to the High Court in November to argue such bookings are not traditional packages and so do not require agents to acquire the costly licences. While the court decides, millions of Britons will happily click away b

22、uying online holidays, unaware of the difference.（分数：10.00）(1).Based on the first paragraph, the best title of the text could be_. A An annual holiday B A High Court ruling C A new package D A British innovation（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the text, the shift in the method of holiday booking in

23、 UK is associated with_. A the popularity of electronics B the costly licences C car rental firms D the traditional ideology（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the text, which of the following is true? A To put together a trip using a traditional travel agent is not hard at present. B To sound the dea

24、th knell for tour operator is unacceptable and inhumane. C Some high-street travel agents defy the model of surviving with the internet. D Traditional tour firms grapple with the internet.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The word “ hustle“ in the topic sentence of the fourth paragraph most probably denotes_. A

25、demand B hostility C sale D prejudice（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to the first and last paragraphs, which of the following is still in suspense? A A legal definition. B A congestion charge. C Financial guarantee. D An adventure trip.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)This years Sumantra Ghos

26、hal Conference, held at London Business School, debated whether strategy research has become irrelevant to the practice of management. The late Mr Ghoshal published a paper in 2005 scolding business schools for pouring “bad theory“ on their students. That same year Warren Bennis and James OToole, bo

27、th at the University of Southern California, published an article in the Harvard Business Review criticising MBA programmes for paying too much attention to “scientific“ research and not enough to what current and future managers actually needed. Business schools, they argued, would be better off ac

28、ting more like their professional counterparts, such as medical or law schools, nurturing skilled practitioners as well as frequent publishers.However, business school professors have a tendency not to change. Since universities take journal rankings into account when awarding tenure, academics are

29、rewarded more when they publish in research journals. (Popular media rankings of MBA programmes, although not The Economists, also take research output into account.)In 2008 the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) took up the debate, publishing a report on making business r

30、esearch more useful. It suggested that tenure committees become more flexible. A scholar dedicated to popularising management ideas, for example, should be evaluated on book sales and attention from the news media, not on articles in research journals. This would allow faculty to reach out to wider

31、audiences, rather than be, as Messrs Bennis and OToole put it, “damned as popularisers“.But that might also risk granting tenure on the basis of trendy but ultimately unhelpful ideas. In any case, some argue that the relevance of business research is understated. Jan Williams, vice chair of AACSB, a

32、rgues that doing research allows faculty members to stay at the forefront of their subject, and that in turn improves their teaching. “We cant teach students outdated material,“ he says.What is more, a paper in Academy of Management Learning access to frontier research comes afterwards. As Messrs Be

33、nnis and OToole put it: “Business professors too often forget that executive decision-makers are not fact-collectors; they are fact users and integrators.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the first paragraph, Bennis and OToole complained about_.A business schools publishing papersB irrelevant management in

34、 business schoolsC too much efforts directed to researchD MBA programmes misleading students（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The ranking of MBA programmes is mentioned in brackets in order to_.A name a particular ranking including the application factorB provide a supporting argument for the importance of resea

35、rch outputC explain why universities expect journal papers from professorsD show another way for professors to get permanent teaching positions（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).AACSB suggested that_.A professors should not pay heed to scientific researchB a more reasonable evaluating system be established to jud

36、ge professorsC scholars should entertain a large audience if they want to be successfulD a flexible evaluating way be created to put scientific research into application（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be inferred from the passage that_.A the best schools in the popular media rankings guarantee graduates

37、 high salaryB doing research may help students to be better paid laterC professors should be evaluated on the basis of popularityD Jan Williams may not agree with AACSB on the issue about doing research（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to the author, after entering a business school a student should fi

38、rst_.A learn to process incoming information effectivelyB contribute to the reputation of his schoolC find a professor who is popular in his research fieldD help teachers with their research（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In the two decades between 1910 and 1930, over ten percent of the Bla

39、ck population of the United States left the South, where the majority of the Black population had been located, and migrated to northern states, with the largest number moving, it is claimed, between 1016 and 1918. It has been frequently assumed, but not proved, that most of the migrants in what has

40、 come to be called the Great Migration came from rural areas and were motivated by two concurrent factors: the collapse of cotton industry following boll weevil infestation, which began in 1898, and increased demand in the North for labor following the cessation of European immigration caused by the

41、 outbreak of the First World War in 1914. This assumption has led to the conclusion that the migrants subsequent lack of economic mobility in the North is tied to rural background, a background that implies unfamiliarity with urban living and a lack of industrial skills.But the question of who actua

42、lly left the South has never been investigated in detail. Although numerous investigations document a flight from rural southern areas to southern cities prior to the Great Migration, no one has considered whether the same migrants then moved on to northern cities. In 1910 over 600,000 Black workers

43、, or ten percent of the Black work force reported themselves to be engaged in “manufacturing and mechanical pursuits“, the federal census category roughly including the entire industrial sector. The Great Migration could easily have been made up entirely of this group and their families. It is perha

44、ps surprising to argue that an employed population could be tempted to move, but an explanation lies in the labor conditions then prevalent in the South.About thirty-five percent of the urban Black population in the South was engaged in skilled trades. Some were from the old artisan class of slavery

45、-blacksmiths, masons, carpenters-which had a monopoly of certain trades, but they were gradually being pushed out by competition, mechanization, and obsolescence. The remaining sixty-five percent, more recently urbanized, worked in newly developed industries-tobacco, lumber, coal and iron manufactur

46、e, and railroads. Wages in the South, however, were low, and Black workers were aware, through labor recruiters and the Black press, that they could earn more even as unskilled workers in the North than they could as artisans in the South. After the boll weevil infestation, urban Black workers faced

47、 competition from the continuing influx of both Black and White rural workers, who Were driven to undercut the wages formerly paid for industrial jobs. Thus, a move north would be seen as advantageous to a group that was already urbanized and steadily employed, and the easy conclusion tying their su

48、bsequent economic problems in the North to their rural backgrounds comes into question.
